 chainctl starter request-access Request access to a catalog starter organization.
Synopsis Request access to an existing catalog starter organization.
If a catalog starter organization for your email domain already exists, this command sends an access request to the organization’s owners. They can choose whether to invite you; if they do, you will receive an email with instructions to join.
You must be authenticated as a Chainguard identity (e.g. via ‘chainctl auth login’) before running this command. The candidate organization is derived from the email domain on your authenticated session.
For privacy, this command intentionally returns the same response whether or not a matching organization exists. If your domain has no associated starter organization, no request is sent and no error is reported.
